@mb, first welcome to CCF. Second, can you help us a little by pointing out what you think might be an error with this coin in hand? It is difficult to tell what you might be thinking from these pics. Thx.

Ok yes is there maybe a rim bruise that kinda looks like a letter I? A close-up of this area would definitely help. As to whether this was struck on a foreign coin planchet, please provide the weight and we should be able to help answer that.

Please don't take this as an attack, but you will get more responses if you do the following...

Try to shoot the coin straight on with no tilt. Crop the images so that the coin is the main part of the picture with little or no background showing. Also orient the images so that the the images are correct on the screen. It hard to turn a laptop sideways to study the image and even harder to turn a desktop monitor on it's side (and I have done both! ) but lucky for me, my desktop monitor is designed to pivot.

Ok good to know. For reference, the mint spec on these is 3.11 ± 0.13. Absent other information, I don't expect that this coin was struck on anything other than normal cent stock.
